Hey everyone,

I installed a Smart ATO Micro on my IM 40 Nuvo AIO tank. Pretty sure i did everything correctly, once i plugged it in it did the beeping checks then filled to the right level. For the last 14 hours or so, its just been solid blue, and I can tell a little water has evaporated (not a lot, but noticeable). How many times does this ATO sensor trigger daily? Has the water level just not evaporated enough to trigger the sensor?

Thanks!
 
The ato triggers varies from tank to tank.
Once water goes below the sensor it will turn the pump on

Hmm...yeah i read some folks it triggers 4-5 times a day. Mine is going on 16 hours without triggering (as far as i can tell by monitoring through my apex for wattage used for that outlet). Perhaps its working and the wattage is just too small to detect since its such a small pump?

Also I have this unit hooked up to an Auto Aqua Smart Level Security before going into APEX, just as a second backup.
 
I was able to figure it out. It's working fine, just the apex is not tracking when it turns on/off. Kind of strange.
